How Are Lenders Viewing Bridge Loans in 2025?

[Kelly Schroeder]

Bridge financing seems to be showing up more in conversations lately, especially for investors juggling multiple projects or waiting on long-term financing to finalize.

For the lenders in this community:
- Are you seeing more demand for bridge loans compared to a few years ago?
- What criteria are you prioritizing most when approving them today (borrower track record, collateral, exit strategy)?
- Have terms shifted given the interest rate environment?

It’d be valuable to hear from both lenders and borrowers about how bridge loans are fitting into deals in today’s market.

bridge loans are always pretty common. we see them most as fix and flip or fix and hold. experience and location are the determining factors for sure.
